Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 5, Day 4

Every weekday, join "The Mo'Nique Show" on a 12-week workout program with Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins.

Inspiration/Motivation Tip: You already have everything in you to be successful, you just have to reach inside and pull it out.

Workout: Back, Bi’s, and Thighs (Interval or Circuit format to keep your heart rate elevated); Core; Stretch-it-Out

Exercise of The Day: Back Rows- This is a great exercise to tone your back, shoulders & arms.

Exercise Tip: If your goal is weight-loss then it is best to do your weight- training first followed by your cardio if you are doing both in the same session. During weight training you build up lactic acid which actually inhibits the fat burning process. In the first 10 minutes of your cardio you will burn off most of the lactic acid and increase the amount of fat burning.

Snack: 2 Hardboiled Organic Eggs

Lunch: Turkey Lasagna w whole wheat pasta

Snack: Black Bean & Corn Salad w Peppers/Lime/Cilantro/Cumin

Nutrition Tip: Research has proven that eating every 2-3 hours increases your metabolic rate. You have to feed the furnace to keep it burning.
